TiMaxSpatial, a provider of spatial audio platforms for use in live audio and immersive experiences and part of the Focusrite Group, has announced the appointment of Gerry Marrone to the newly created role of product support engineer. Operating out of the new central London TiMax offices and demonstration suite, which are nearing completion in Tile Yard, Kings Cross, the role will provide training and support for new TiMax users and existing deployments.
Marrone, known to many in the industry as Gerry Brown, is an experienced sound engineer who has worked for the last two years almost exclusively mixing immersive systems for live experiences, in both end-on formats and in-the-round performances.
In his new position with TiMax, he is tasked with harnessing the customer-facing elements of the role to feedback user-experience to the product development team, as well as developing user training programmes and workshops supported by the production of new training material.
Marrone, who moved into the role at the beginning of March, said: “I’m really excited to be a part of the TiMax team, involved in developing new ways to showcase the TiMax range of products. TiMax offers so much functionality and is a powerful tool so users will need to understand in an instant way what the products can deliver on any scale.
“Artists and technicians don’t necessarily look at systems the same way so you need two different sets of vocabulary but I’m absolutely a hundred percent comfortable in this role, teaching new sound designers, teaching new technicians and new artists in what an immersive system can do and how they can deploy it.”
Dave Haydon, commercial director commented: “We’re very fortunate to have someone of Gerry’s experience and calibre joining the growing TiMax product support resource, to help forge new levels of product knowledge and adoption in a diverse and rapidly expanding immersive audio marketplace.”
